People in 2024 aren’t just swiping right and left on online dating apps — some are crafting their perfect AI match and entering relationships with chatbots.

Eric Schmidt, Google’s former CEO, recently shared his concerns about young men creating AI romantic partners and said he believes that AI dating will actually increase loneliness.

“This is a good example of an unexpected problem of existing technology,” Schmidt said in a conversation about AI dangers and regulation on “The Prof G Show” with Scott Galloway released Sunday.

Schmidt said an emotionally and physically “perfect” AI girlfriendcould create a scenario in which a younger male becomes obsessed and allows the AI to take over their thinking.

“That kind of obsession is possible,” Schmidt said in the interview. “Especially for people who are not fully formed.”

      If real women don’t like you, that’s a You issue. Make yourself a better person that other people - aka women - want to be around.

        what he means is the whole wanna be alpha male douche bag types that suckle on the idea of male machoism and have been manipulated over the years to be steered under American conservative viewpoints and are now basically extreme in their leanings, aren’t compatible with most normal women nowadays and he is the sad. but they are manly tears.
